What to do now
Tests have found a harmful substance in ToysButty Slime Kits sold on Amazon above the legal limit.
- Take it away from children now and stop using it.
- Wash your hands after handling it.
- This is a safety report rather than a manufacturer recall: the listing has been taken down, but the seller may not contact you. Get in touch with the seller through the marketplace.
- Report it to Trading Standards through the Citizens Advice consumer service if the seller does not respond.
Why it matters. Limits on substances such as lead, cadmium, phthalates and formaldehyde exist because of their effects on health over time. Children are more exposed because they chew and handle products.
